Great song, hope I never hear from you again.  |

Fred, everyone knows anything above Watford is the North. |

This song puts a spring in my step this summer day...

Well put; I know the feeling. There are so many songs that we know are great, but we're just plain tired of hearing 'em. I'm a U2 fan but so many of their songs have just been beaten to death by constant overplay, although I must say this one holds up better than many. |

Everybody in my hotel room loves this song about a pilgrim on a quest for meaning...

If I ever told my wife that I thought she was the dog's bollox, she'd kick me in the nuggers. No, bollox isn't the ass, it's a plural and I think you call them nuggers. |

Their work may be the dog's bollox to you and fair play to you, but it's not worthy of the moniker 'masterpiece'.

| The Joshua tree is a plant in the southwestern United States, with sword-shaped leaves and greenish-white flowers grouped in large panicles... a group of Mormon settlers who crossed the Mojave Desert in the mid-19th century named the plant the Joshua tree, after Joshua of the Old Testament — the forks of the tree reminded them of Joshua's hand raised as he prayed, and also the shape of the leaves reminded them of Joshua's spear... the name of U2's album, The Joshua Tree , is complicated... first, the entire album has a religious theme... second, the title is a tribute to the global power of the United States... third, the album also shows U2's fascination with American culture, politics, and forms of music...
this song is gospel music... a pilgrim on a quest for meaning... love it...

I agree 100%. One of the best albums of the past 30 years. |

| This song has a very zenlike feeling to it.
